2026 Advent Calendar by Lakrids by Bülow with Liquorice

The 2026 Advent calendar by Lakrids by Bülow is a liquorice calendar with 24 doors, each containing two portions of chocolate-coated liquorice. It features a mix of classics and seasonal varieties, and the slim box is decorated both inside and out.

2026 Advent Calendar is the liquorice Advent calendar by Lakrids by Bülow from Denmark. Behind each of the 24 doors wait two portions of chocolate-coated liquorice, a mix of the year's classics and varieties available only this season.

A calendar for two

Two portions a day is no coincidence, as this calendar was explicitly designed for sharing.

Whoever gives it as a gift is passing on more than just sweets—they are giving twenty-four little dates. One door every evening, one piece each, and the question of what exactly you just ate. Of course, you can also eat it alone, but then it will only last half the time.

As a gift, it has the advantage that it doesn't start on Christmas Eve, but on the first of December. Anyone who presents it early remains present throughout the entire month rather than for just a single evening.

It gets fruity behind the doors

The calendar is the only opportunity of the year to taste the entire spectrum of Lakrids, and it is broader than the shelf might suggest.

Strawberry and raspberry, passion fruit and peach, lime zest and cherry, plus banana, pineapple, and a splash of lemon: the fruits are gently dried for the balls—using cold rather than heat—to retain their scent, acidity, and vibrancy.

In between are the darker tones: caramel with salted butter, crushed cocoa nibs, salmiak, and sea salt, along with a hint of vanilla. Sweet, salty, fruity: the calendar surprises with a different direction every evening.

The tree on the lid

On a black background stands a Christmas tree made of gold and red baubles, with a star at the very top and the number 24 beside it.

When you open the calendar, the theme continues, as between the numbered doors lie a sliced cocoa fruit, a fir branch, and a copper bell. It is therefore decorated inside and out, and the cardboard can be completely recycled afterwards.

Because it is designed with a slim profile, it can be shipped without anything inside shifting. And since the motif changes every year, the 2026 edition is also suitable for anyone who already had one last year.

The fact that liquorice is thought of in so many directions stems from an understanding of the root as a spice rather than a childhood candy. Some of the recipes behind these doors are not available in any tin and can only be found here.

Lakrids cooks without wheat, which is why the contents remain gluten-free and contain no gelatine. Store the calendar in a cool, dry place so the chocolate retains its melt. Between a radiator and a windowsill, it is best kept on the cooler side.

For those who wish to celebrate December in pairs more generously, there is the Advent Calendar LARGE with four portions per day. Anyone who prefers to give a single variety as a gift will find them in tins, such as CLASSIC Caramel with sea salt flakes.

New in the winter lineup is Cherry Sour with sour cherry. You can find everything else coming out of Copenhagen at Lakrids by Bülow, and the calendar contains a total of 345 grams.
